It's a little bit more rundown than it was when we visited in 2019. They are in the middle of some renovations that look very nice. The new fences look much better than the old ones. I don't know why some of the gates were locked. It was a little troubling. The biggest detractor right now is the condition of the animal sanctuaries. Kind of reminds me how yellow River game ranch was in their decline. Have to keep in mind that this is a free to the public zoo. If you go to their website there are options to help to support them if we don't want to see something like this disappear.

My son and I brought the dogs too the park. There wasn't many animals out, which is understandable, we still enjoyed ourselves.

This zoo is great. It is small as some reviewers say but they should keep in mind it is a free zoo for rehabbed animals. We saw owls, bears, turkeys, river otters, a bald eagle, a gator and more. My 7 year old didn’t want to leave. We all had a great time and will be back.

Great free morning activity for my small children! The animals were all out and very active. The trails are clean and easy to navigate with a stroller. We finished the zoo trail an about an hour.

Bear Hollow Zoo is open to the public. There is no entrance fee. Bring your family. Lots of shade and a quiet atmosphere make this a relaxing place to be. On some Saturdays, the reptile house is open 1-4. Again, no entrance fee... Enjoy!
